In addition, two American Physical Society Prize review papers will be presented, one by this year's James Clerk Maxwell Prize winner, Roy W. Gould, California Institute of Technology, and one by this year's Aneesur Rahman Prize winner, John M. Dawson, University of California, Los Angeles. The total number of contributed papers is 1,385--slightly more than submitted last year.

These papers were arranged into the program described in this Bulletin by the program committee consisting of R. Bangerter, D. Batchelor, H. Berk, A. Boozer, W. Destler, R.P. Drake, D. Ernie, W. Gekelman, R. Goldston, Y. Kato, E. Marmar, S. Prager, R. Sagdeev, B. Shrauner, T. Simonen, R. Stern, R. Sudan, M.A. Sweeney, C. Verdon, F. Wagner, D. Winske, F. Young, and B. Ripin, chair. The assistance of Saralyn Stewart of The University of Texas and her staff, in accepting the papers and composing the final program, is gratefully acknowledged. We thank the Institute for Fusion Studies at The University of Texas at Austin for hosting the meeting of the program committee and E. Tracy and P. Efthimion for their assistance.

INVITED AND REVIEW PRESENTATIONS

This year's program committee has selected invited and review presentations that emphasize the progress in plasma science applications and basic plasma research. Evening sessions were chosen to explore opportunities for new research and applications, and to highlight major advances.

Review papers, each 50 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes for questions and answers, will be presented at 8:15 on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday in the Nicollet Ballroom, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel.

* On Monday, K.M. McGuire, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, will present "Review of Deuterium-Tritium Experiments on TFTR."

* On Tuesday, J.D. Lindl, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, will present "Review of Indirect Drive ICF."

* On Friday, F.F. Chen, University of California, Los Angeles, will present "Industrial Applications of Low-Temperature Plasma Physics."

The 1994 Aneesur Rahman Prize address will be given by J.M. Dawson in a plenary session Wednesday morning at 8:15. The title of his talk is "Modeling of Plasmas on Computers: Past, Present, and Future." The 1994 James Clerk Maxwell Prize address will be given by R.W. Gould in a plenary session Thursday morning at 8:15. The title of his talk is "Dynamics of Nonneutral Plasmas." Both Prize presentations will be given in the Nicollet Ballroom, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel.

Invited paper sessions, with each paper 25 minutes long plus 5 minutes of discussion, will be held each morning and afternoon in the Nicollet Ballroom, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel. Poster versions of invited and review papers given Monday through Thursday may be seen in Poster Session IP in the Hyatt Center, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel in the following half-day session. For example, the Monday morning review and invited talks will be given in the 2IP Monday afternoon poster session. This option will not be available for invited papers and the review paper scheduled for Friday morning.

INVITED AND REVIEW PAPER PUBLICATION IN "PHYSICS OF PLASMAS"

Arrangements have been made to publish the review and invited papers in the sixth annual "Special Issue of Physics of Plasmas." This year's guest editor is B. Ripin, the program committee chair. Invited speakers who have prepared a manuscript of their paper for the special issue must bring the completed manuscript to the meeting. A "Physics of Plasmas" journal representative, Dianne Nunes, will accept manuscripts at a table near the DPP Registration Desk, Nicollet Promenade, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel. If you have any questions regarding the "Special Issue" please phone (609) 243-2424.

CONTRIBUTED PAPERS

Oral sessions of contributed papers will be held in Greenway Ballroom B-E and Greenway Ballroom F-I, second level, Hyatt Regency Hotel. Each will be 10 minutes long, plus 2 minutes for discussion. There will be a total of 41 poster sessions of contributed papers to be held in the Hyatt Center, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel.

A 4 x 8 foot board and push pins will be provided for the poster presentations. It is recommended that each poster include a title and list of authors in large letters and a large-type copy of your abstract for casual observers, leaving more time to discuss the details with those particularly interested in your work. Please pay particular attention to the production of effective visuals. Poster presentations should be arranged so that a number of people may view them at one time. Handouts of printed material and a sign-up sheet for reprints are often helpful. If you leave your station, indicate when you will return. Please clear the poster board promptly at the end of the session.

The contributed abstracts have been arranged according to the APS rules, which stipulate that the first author is expected to give the paper and that an author can be listed as first author only once. Other abstracts by the same first author have been assigned to the Supplementary Program, to be given in Poster Session 9U on Friday morning, 11 November 1994 in the Hyatt Center, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel. Chairs for contributed oral sessions are expected to enforce the Society's rule that a member attempting to deliver a second oral paper in the same session will have that paper placed at the end of the session, to be given if time permits. Several requests for contributed oral presentations have been placed in poster presentations due to a lack of a sufficient number of other topic related abstracts to form an oral session.

Since the November issue of the "Bulletin of The American Physical Society" is the only program available to participants, the abstract deadline was set as late as possible consistent with the time needed for printing and distribution. Abstracts not adhering strictly to The American Physical Society rules and regulations for the Submission of Abstracts printed in most issues of the "APS Meeting News" could not be accepted or had to be reproduced with some loss in clarity. Postdeadline abstracts may be given as posters in Session 9V. Abstracts prepared after Friday, 23 September 1994, must be brought to the Annual Meeting by the contributor and will be announced by posting a copy of the abstract on a designated bulletin board. Please contact Saralyn Stewart at the DPP Registration Desk for on-site postdeadline submission.

EVENING SYMPOSIA

Three special evening programs will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, from 20:00 to 22:00 in the Nicollet Ballroom, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel.

The first evening program, on Monday, 7 November 1994 at 20:00, is a symposium on "Opportunities in Plasma Science."

AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS PLACEMENT CENTER

The American Institute of Physics (AIP) will conduct a Job Placement Center inside the Hyatt Center, main level, Hyatt Regency Hotel. The Center will be open from 9:00 to 17:00, Monday through Wednesday, 7-9 November 1994. The Center's aim is to facilitate the process of finding employment for job seekers. The Center provides information to prospective employers and physicists seeking employment who are registered with the Placement Center. Universities, colleges, high schools, research and government institutions, and industrial concerns will be invited to participate in the placement service.

In order to utilize the Job Placement Center, the standard, one-page resume form must be completed (Placement Service form). The form requests a detailed history of your previous employment, your thesis and research area, and any physics publications you have authored. This form must be completely filled out in a neat, presentable manner and returned to the Job Placement Center. There is a $5 fee if you are not registered with the Placement Center. You may use your current resume and any ancillary materials to support your candidacy during an actual interview.

COLLEGE PHYSICS PROBLEM SOLVING WORKSHOP

Sunday
Attention physics course teachers, if you commonly hear from your students, "I understand the material, I just can't solve the problems!" then this workshop is for you. The workshop will be held on Sunday, 6 November 1994 from 19:00 to 22:30 in Skyway Suite, second level, Hyatt Regency Hotel, and will focus on the rationale for teaching structured problem solving in cooperative groups, how to design appropriate group problems, and how to structure groups for problem solving in an introductory physics course. We have used cooperative group problem solving as the discussion section part of the large introductory physics courses in a very research oriented university. The instructors for these discussion sections were teaching assistants who were typically first year graduate students. To obtain further information contact Kenneth Heller,(612) 624-7314, or Patricia Heller, (612) 625-0561,(or email: heller@mnhep.hep.umn.edu).
